Cohen, a well known diamond broker Of
Horseman & Bookmaker of Chicago, was
robbed of 81 900 in money and $4,000
worth of diamonds in a Pullman sleeper
on the Iron Mountain road last night
while on his way from Memphis to Chi

placed his case of diamonds 10 rear
pocket Of his coat, which be hung up in
his berth. When dressing this morning
he discovered that he had been robbed of
the diamonds and 81, 900 n money. An
investigation showed that the occupants
Of the adjoining berths, who had watched
Cohen's actions closely during the pre-.
vious evening, and who jumped from
the train at South st. Louis, leaving
their tickets to Chicago with the porter,
were probably the robbers. A descrip-
tou Of the men has been telegraphed to

A Miraculous Escape.

Monday morning as James
Garrett, the hardware man, and a
gentleman named Cunningham,
from Peoria, ILL.,, were going out to
BobFreeman's house and when they
were crossing a bridge over a small
branch at a point about 3 miles
south of town, the entire structure
gave way just as the team crossed
and the buggy cameup on to it, pre-
cipitating both gentlemen and
buggy into the ditch along
with the debris of the bridge. The
accident came so sudden that the
men were badly frightened-more
so than they were hurt. Had not
the horses been gentle, in all prob
ability one or both men might
have been killed or dangerously
hurt. The safety of bridges on
county roads that are travelled over
daily by hundreds of people should
be looked after carefully.

A NEW BRIDGE
ALMOST CERTAIN TO BE PUT

The Railroads and the City About
Agree.

The Mayor and a portion of the
Council met Supt. Niece, of the
Wabash, at the depot Monday, and
the bridge will, We thiAk, be order
ed at the next meeting ofthe Coun-
ell. In the meantime the old bridge
should be pulled down for fear of
serious accidents. McGee saws if
the c. & A. agrees they will put in
a new bridge and agree to maintain
it ifthe city will pay 500 toward
it. He says he thinks the new
bridge could be ready for use in
two weeks. We have seen most of
the Council and think there is no
doubt but what the proposition will
be accepted and the matter settled.
The public demands a bridge at
once, forthwith, right now.

They fortunately did no damage.
The boys became very polite all al

coops.

about Milligan owing more than he
could pay, and that he'had plenty
of property to pay all of his debts
and more. This is another theory
exploded. A few days before he
went away he told a man who want
edt to buy some cows from him that
he would not need the money fol-
them till Jan. 1st. This would Iot

MAsTIN A FROM.
Letter From the Pesident Of the
Water-works Company.

To the Mexico. Mo, Water works Co., Mexico,
Missouri
MEXICO, Mo-. Nov. s, 1887
GENTLEMEN: You have referred
the following letter to me to an
swer such portion as relates to this
company, and take such action as
shall be for the interest of all con-
eerned, viz
ToJ l.. Robertson, New York.
MEXICO, Mo-, Nov.4.-DEAR SIR:
| am to-day in receipt of your let
Ter ofinquiry concerning the default
in the payment of interest on GER
tain bonds issued by the Mexico
Water-works Co. You say that
the credit of the city will suffer if
the payments are not made. I can
not understand why it should do so,
since they are not the bonds Of the
city. nor is the city in any way.lia-
BILE for their payment.
The city made a contract with
Pond & Mastin, who afterwards
formed a corporation to furnish it
with water.
This contract has been found to
be so defective that / do not believe
either party bound by it, and fur.
thermore, the Water-works Co. has
failed to comply with its part of the
agreement.
| think it hard that the city has
to suffer from this breach of con.
tract, to say nothing of its credit
being impaired. The Water-works
Co. has failed to meet it's obliga-
tions to its bondholders.
Yours Truly,
R. HIsEY, Mayor.
Major Robertson was the broker
that sold the bonds and his letter is
pertinent in regard to the interest
due and payable Nov. 1, 1887. The
Mayors reply is in justification OF
the non-payment of the interest
due, and says the contract has been
found to be defective, and the
Water-works Co. has failed to COM
ply with its part of the agreement.
The contract, we r informed, is
good in law, and the Water-works
Co. has fully complied with all
parts of the contract, the Mayors
statement to the contrary ,notwith-
standing.
We are furnishing the city with
water and all our customers, in
full accordance with the contract,
and shall take such further action
in the premises as the interest of all
parties concerned may require.
Very Truly,

Plenty of Water-Everybody Pros.
porous and Happy.

The farmers around and the bus
mess men in Martinsburg are hap
py. Water in abundance has been
discovered all over that country
and you only have to go down
about fifty feet. You go through
about 40 feet of dirt and then TO
feet of rock and you have an mex
haustible supply of the very best
kind of water. There are over sc
wells within three miles of the vii
lage besides four big wells and a
submarine tank in town. This dis
covery will prove a big thing for
that portion of Audrain. The coun-
try is the very best and some of ou
most worthy citizens live there,
and all that has ever been lacking
was a plentiful supply of water to
make Martinsburg boom right to
the front. We predict q big bust
ness and building boom at the
burg in the spring.
